What happened

Is Roku ( ROKU 14.15% ) stock grossly overvalued? That's a question a lot of investors are asking. And one Wall Street analyst just suggested this stock has roughly 50% more downside, which is saying something considering the stock is already down about 60% from its all-time high.

So what

According to The Fly, Atlantic Equities analyst Hamilton Faber started covering Roku stock earlier this year. Faber started his coverage by slapping a $136-per-share price target on Roku, a roughly 50% downside from where it was trading at the time.

Now what

Let's talk about Roku's business. According to the company, it closed 2020 as the most widely adopted operating system for smart TVs in the U.S. with 38% share of new TVs sold. And in the third quarter of 2021, Roku's 56.4 million active accounts streamed 18 billion hours of content.

NASDAQ: ROKU

It's worth monitoring how well Roku is attracting partners, as Faber suggests. But considering Roku is still executing well, I believe investors should give it the benefit of the doubt for now.
